Choose the Right Surgeon

Choosing the right plastic surgeon is about more than just the surgeon’s qualifications. Your plastic surgeon should understand your individual needs and be able to address your concerns with experience and integrity. Dr. Cohen and her experienced staff provide support at every step of the process, from consultation to aftercare.

Reliable, knowledgeable, and understanding nurses and support staff have a huge impact on your overall patient experience before, during, and after your procedure. Auxiliary staff who are experienced in plastic surgery and in working with your doctor form a team that can anticipate needs and questions, help clarify your expectations, and alleviate any concerns.

Communication is a key factor in preparing for your procedure and is essential to the success of your surgery. You should be able to talk openly and honestly with your surgeon about your goals and concerns, and in turn, your surgeon should communicate openly with you. When you’re working with a plastic surgeon, you should feel like your needs are understood and addressed prior to the procedure.

While Botox and other filler injections are not as invasive as surgery, it is equally important that these procedures be performed by a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon for several reasons:

1. Botox and fillers will provide the best results when the injection is performed by a professional who has a true understanding of the facial anatomy, muscle operation, and underlying facial structure.

2. To ensure your safety, Botox and fillers should be measured and dosed precisely using FDA approved brands and by medical personnel who are properly trained in mixing and administering these medications.

4. Facial rejuvenation with Botox and fillers requires a combination of medical science and artistic elements like symmetry, sculpting, and dimension to achieve the best result. Unlike other medical professions, board certified plastic surgeons are uniquely trained in this combination of art and medicine.
